Henry Rifle Forums

My daughter is 11 years old and this was our 2nd squirrel hunt in 4 days. She got the only squirrel of the day. I’m so proud of her. One shot, one kill. She used my old Marlin 60 with a 3-9x32 scope set on 4 power. The squirrel was about 30 yards away. She had to prop the rifle on my shoulder because it’s too long and heavy for her to hold up. It’s her first game animal and she’s so excited. I can’t wait to take her hunting again!

Nice! It's cool you and your daughter can get out in the woods and share the fun of the hunt! Great pic! Thanks for sharing a great story!

Congrats to you both, sounds like a good time was had.
Hope that is the beginning of long hunting relationship that you get to share.

OUTSTANDING ---- TRULY OUTSTANDING .... congrats to you both for creating another shared memory that will last a lifetime

Nice! She got a big one. Im a fan of the Marlin model 60s. Great for squirrel hunting.

Good for her and for you, both. Thanks for sharing. Love the pic!

Congratulations to her and her dad ! Great picture, should be in a junior hunter guide as a great example of how to do it. Good job dad.

Someone is wearing their happy face.

Congratulations to both of you. I hope this is the start of many great hunting adventures for both of you together.

Congrats! So glad to see that. I cut my teeth on squirrel hunting with my Grandpa. Wish I could do it again. Cherished memories.
Tell her I'm proud of her. Very pretty girl, too.
